...many, his visage evoked the cackling, maniacal villain Tommy Udo pushing an old woman tied to a wheelchair downstairs, in the 1947 film Kiss of Death. But offscreen, Richard Widmark played the true gentleman. Over his career, the chiseled, unconventionally handsome actor portrayed a vast array of characters--from frontiersman Jim Bowie in The Alamo to the head of a psychiatric institution in Cobweb to the corruptible boxing promoter Harry Fabian, one of his most memorable roles, in Jules Dassin's Night and the City...

All the ingredients seemed to be in place for my fantasy to take shape: a picturesque volcanic island shrouded in mystery; a disastrous crash scenario; and a group of mostly young and attractive actors to play the roles of the other survivors, whom I was determined to lead on a polar bear hunt. GroundTruth was even nice enough to humor my daydream by writing me into the script as a ferry survivor who suffered post-traumatic stress and confused the plot of Lost with...
